why the sam hate?

[the truth]

I haven't watched much since episode 1 just wondering why hes so unpopular?

my first impression is hes young, immature and perhaps getting sucked in by gold digging milf jemima, but doesn't seem like such a bad bloke, does he?
I presume hes now turned his attention to the gorgeous irish model?

[Vicky.]

I dont mind him, but hes quite annoying with the 'cute' things he says (such as calling his dick a winkie). I cant understand him a lot of the time though, so I may be missing a lot. Usually takes me about a week or so to get used to Welsh accents :laugh:

[Patrick]

Because he's an illiterate creep who can't string a sentence together.

[joeysteele]

I don't mind him, he will unlikely be one of my real favourites but he's not too bad.

[karezza]

Because we don't want Sam to win because of his partial deafness.

[Patrick]

Because we don't want Sam to win because of his partial deafness.

Tbf, if one leg Steve couldn't win BB11 - I doubt this muppet will get a shot.

At least I hope not.

[the truth]

yeah its a pretty thick accent......I get the feeling hes a bit shy and is coming across as more aggressive than he actually is, if you know what I mean?

Here we go again with your anti women posts.

It wasn't Jemima who made him into a letch who talks about his cock getting hard to the girls he said this before he entered the house.

Hes a letch.

YUCK!

PS he is not "SHY" at all. He is a proper valleys lad....All drink and clunge.

The fact that's hes deaf and Welsh is just twice as challenging.

[Marsh.]

Why am I not surprised you've blamed a woman in your OP? :laugh:

:joker: When I first met my Welsh stepfather and his family I felt so stupid and rude for having to say "pardon" and not understand a blind word they were saying. I thought I'd got used to it over the years but Sam's is really incomprehensible to me at times. lol

To be fair though the lad is 70% deaf lol its amazing he even has an accent.

[Kizzy]

I can understand him fine, and he has dropped a couple of clangers but I think it's mostly nerves he'll be ok soon.

[reece(:]

Once he said he was going to use his deafness to his advantage I couldn't stand him

[Black Dagger]

He's a cringe mess, and this whole 'HE'S YOUNG ETC' is so cliché, he's 23 years of age, going on bloody 12, there have been younger males than him in the house.

[billy123]

Some People are really just impatient they instantly want someone to champion and someone to hate the second the show starts it will be a good couple of weeks before i start figuring out who i really like and want to do well and who i would rather pack their bags and bugger off.

[Shaun]

he's a childish lecherous creep.

That's such bollocks lol.

I was running a pub at that age!

Seems as time goes on it becomes more and more acceptable to say oh yes im in my early twenties im still young.

Bull**** hes a man like everyone else.

[jyunga]

Well, I hate to let his disability excuse his actions but he is pretty disabled. He had to learn to talk.... he barely is able to hear WITH hearing aids. He's probably just used to acting out to fit in with others in his area.

[PInternet]

He is completely cringe.

[reece(:]

he's like Mario BB11 mark II.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That's such crap.

Hes totally capable of holding a conversation.

He isn't mentally impared.

Hes a typical lager lout but is getting sympathy for being born with a hearing imparment.

[DanielLuis]

Tbf, if one leg Steve couldn't win BB11 - I doubt this muppet will get a shot.

At least I hope not.

Don't be so sure. I think ht unfortunately has a chance.

[Marsh.]

he's like Mario BB11 mark II.

He's not quite that bad just yet.

Once he's sat in the corner of a darkened room watching Jemima dressing with a deranged look then we know he's hit Mario level craziness. :joker:

[GypsyGoth]

Sam is a really nice guy if you look past his awful juvenile chatup lines, however I think he says them to break the ice in a conversation, so people with laugh at him in a way.

[ruiphillips]

I think he is alright.

[Marsh.]

Sam is a really nice guy if you look past his awful juvenile chatup lines, however I think he says them to break the ice in a conversation, so people with laugh at him in a way.

I thought during the first live feed that he says these really awkward and forward things just to break that awful tension when you're trying to make conversation with a stranger for the first time. Seemed to work with Jemima, who laughed but could fail with some people. :laugh:

[armand.kay]

Well I don't know what dafuq he is saying and when I can its something cringie and vulgar. He needs to go.

[GypsyGoth]

I thought during the first live feed that he says these really awkward and forward things just to break that awful tension when you're trying to make conversation with a stranger for the first time. Seemed to work with Jemima, who laughed but could fail with some people. :laugh:

Yep I think that too.


And I think a lot of the hate aimed towards him was because he seemed like the favourite from the launch night, so naturally everyone who wants a different housemate to win would immediately dislike him.

[Jords]

He seems really down to earth to me and easy to talk to... hes immature but quite a light-hearted HM away from all the dramaaaaa

[the truth]

perhaps the deafness makes him slightly harder to understand at times for some people, though Ive managed to follow him ......he may be a grower ....(no im not talking about his billy lol)

[Ramsay]

he's just so weird
BOTS showed a clip of him basically saying he wont get nominated because he is deaf...that = a class A prick in my books

[the truth]

perhaps he was half joking who knows

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I don't know what it is about him, but I just cant take to him at all.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I couldn't stand him at the beginning, but I've warmed to him a lot. I think he's lovely and he makes me laugh. And he's always so polite to everyone. :)

[Mitchell]

Tbf, if one leg Steve couldn't win BB11 - I doubt this muppet will get a shot.

At least I hope not.

Britain are in a soppy mood, they voted Jack second cos of his disability (although he was good, he wouldn't have made It second without), they will vote for Andrea to win the voice due to her being blind, they voted Luke A to win BB probably because was transgender (being a strong supporter of LGBT rights this isn't many as a nasty commen) They voted James Arthur to win XF due to the poo sound he makes when he tries to sing, ever since the Olympics Britain now is soppy with voting

I think Sam is next :(

[fruit_cake]

I quite like him, I don't mind a bit of immaturity as long as his hearts in the right place, which I so no evidence to say that it isn't.

[karezza]

Sam is a useless housemate - he is in the house because of his deafness. He must not win. Anyone but Sam to win.

[GypsyGoth]

How do you know he's there for his deafness and not his personality?

[Supernovarolla]

In comparison to that freaky Alan Partridge/Gok Wan love child Dexter, Sam's positively normal.

[waterhog]

sam is showing all the qualities of a ideal winner - at this stage - loverly bloke.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I think he's so nice. It's great to see his smiley face on the live feed. :hugesmile:

[CaudleHalbard]

that freaky Alan Partridge/Gok Wan love child Dexter

Love it! :D

[Daffodil]

The foul language that came from that boy's mouth after one of Dan's tasks, was terrible. Up to then I thought he seemed ok enough. There is something not nice about him.

[flamingGalah!]

I'm not a fan,he thinks he's some sort of male model, when he is average looking at best, not quite sure why he is so over confident & cocky? Unless the girls where he lives just are not that fussy*?? :conf:


*slags

[Speedster]

Because we don't want Sam to win because of his partial deafness.

I didn't even know he was a a bit deaf. I just find him dull.

[Marcus.]

he need to get out from the showeds

[Speedster]

I haven't watched much since episode 1 just wondering why hes so unpopular?

If he's getting "sucked in by gold-digging milf Jemima" then that's down to HIS lack of self control-Not her problem at all.

Well it is Wales

[Macie Lightfoot]

Tbf, if one leg Steve couldn't win BB11 - I doubt this muppet will get a shot.

At least I hope not.

Yeah but that was back when people actually watched Big Brother so anything's possible now. I'm sure Sam being reasonably attractive to some helps too.

[flamingGalah!]

Well it is Wales

I suppose, he must be some sort of Brad Pitt compared to most of the locals :joker:

[lcfc_ibra]

I coached football with Sam in America a couple of years ago and got to know him quite well. He is genuinley a really nice person but does say awkward things but I think that is to help him stand out because due to his hearing he cant really join in conversations as much as he would want. Hes definitely not a creep as people are saying based on a few crude one liners

[ThisIsNickkk]

He's a creep, he's boring and when he does talk all he goes on about is tits and Jen making his winkie expand. How excitable.

[grandefratello]

His accent grates on my nerves - I wish he would keep quiet . . . . he has nothing worth saying anyway. Utterly pointless waste of space!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ah yeah hes just a lad "you make my winky grow" is hilarious.

Now though I wonder if TheTruth would have felt the same if she had said "You make my minge wide"?

I don't see why its any different lol.

You decide.

This forum can be cruel. I think Sam is funny, good humoured and likable. :xyxwave:

[Jords]

Hes likable, harmless and pretty funny.

Needs to do more though, same goes with Soph.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I love Sam. He's sweet and adorable. :lovedup:

[JayBlaze]

Sam has turned into mr invisible

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Sam has turned into mr invisible

Yeah, he's gone quiet. But i'm sure he'll come back. :hugesmile:

[JTM45]

I think Sam's a really good bloke but i think he's very self-conscious about his speech. He said as much in his video on launch night and most housemates either figured it out for themselves or asked after noticing his hearing aids.
On the other hand Dan said to him "i'm sorry but i'm having difficulty understanding a ******ing word your saying Sam". You could see poor Sam's confidence shrivelling up when he said it. I think that was on the first highlights show.
Dan is so wrapped up in himself that doesn't notice anything that's going on with anyone else (apart from Hazel of course!). He's such an unaware, self-obsessed twat is Dan (oink, oink little pig!).:yuk:

Hopefully, when Jemima the witch is evicted on Friday Sam will be able to relax a bit more when there's alcohol around and he'll come out of his shell a bit more. I think there's a lot more to him that we haven't seen and he seems like a considerate and genuinely nice guy.

If you haven't already you should all give the guy a chance. I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon as i can't see him getting nominated by many people.
Someone's gotta' represent Wales in the house and he's the only eligible candidate. Go Sam!!!! :thumbs:

[coralqueen]

so far i like sam..

It's bugging me where I have seen Sam before has he been on reality previously?

[Tulin]

Because he's an illiterate creep who can't string a sentence together.

Seriously - as an Australian I CANNOT understand a single effing thing he says.

Surely that accent is put on or something!!!

[the truth]

wow yet another tactless ignorant comment from the belittling ex copper

[JTM45]

wow yet another tactless ignorant comment from the belittling ex copper

Yeah, with Dan being the super-detective and all you'd have thought he'd have spotted Sam's hearing aids and put two and two together. Probably too busy plucking his eyebrows in the mirrors or something else based around himself.:hugesmile:

[Sophster]

I am also hard of hearing, and I totally get that it's hard to get involved in group discussions. Everyone is talking over each other, it's hard to be able to lip read everybody, and it takes time to process what people say. Also, he probably does not want to have to say pardon 5 times (It's so awkward.So awkward.)
Also, he probably says weird things just so that people laugh, and to show he has a sense of humour. People tend to assume you are a special snowflake if you are hard of hearing, so he is probably trying to prove that he is normal.
I am supporting him, just because I want to be an actress and I'm hard of hearing and he is raising awareness of the cause.:P We need deaf role models in the media, and he could provide that if he gains confidence with people.

(I also wonder how many packets of hearing aid batteries he brought because when you are wearing your aids all day, the battery drains so fast. If he has to go to the diary room like, "Can I have some more batteries?" I would feel so sorry for him :p Also hearing aid batteries go at the worst times, so if I was him, I would change his batteries before eviction night because no one wants to be the one who has to sit there going "Wut" when they announce who is going home.)

Thank you a sensitive realistic comment. I am appalled by comments criticizing his speech are ignorant and cruel. He has to lip read a lot and has had speech therapy to develop his ability to speak at all.None of this has anything to do with the way he behaves himself crudely or otherwise.

[smeagol]

he is ok seems nice enough & he seems to be ok with his speech and hearing so dont think its a issue. . but he is still a total waste of a housemate who will probably win as i thought when he first entered. another luke a.

[Black Dagger]

He's had about 5 seconds air-time in a week, and he's managed to irritate me, it says a lot about him. He's horrific and his cringe comments make me want to ram my head into a cupboard.

[Munchkins]

He thought Tony Blair was the current Prime Minister..
And that the Moon was the closest Planet :joker: to Earth

Enough said

[Razor]

Liked him at first but have since gone off him.

[the truth]

for those who slate him simply because youre worried he will win and beat your fave, don't worry...sam has absolutely no chance of winning

[cheapbbfan]

most times I never even realize he's in the house

[waterhog]

love him - done nothing wrong what so ever.

[Johnnyuk123]

Sam does nothing and yet when he speaks we need subtitles.
